In Los Angeles, tension is rising once again, and this time the danger comes wrapped in the fragile mind of Luna Nozawa. Despite her attempts to blend back into normal life, Luna is unraveling at a disturbing pace—haunted by rejection, pushed by obsession, and consumed by a jealousy she can no longer hide. And the focus of that jealousy is shockingly innocent: little Hayes Finnegan.

Next week’s scenes from The Bold and the Beautiful offer a chilling preview. Viewers see Luna approaching Hayes in an isolated moment, a scene that instantly turns stomachs because nothing about Luna feels safe anymore. She’s volatile, unpredictable, and driven by emotions that have twisted into something toxic. When she corners Hayes and offers him a mysterious “gift,” the implication is clear: she isn’t there to be friendly. She’s hunting for something—validation, revenge, or a new weapon in her escalating war with Steffy and Finn.

Luna has always carried deep wounds from her upbringing, but since discovering Finn is her biological father, those wounds have only deepened. She watched Hayes receive unconditional love—the kind she never got—from the very man who rejects her. Hayes has the home, the security, the steady affection she longed for her entire life. And every time she watches Finn scoop his son into his arms or hears Hayes call him “Daddy,” Luna’s resentment hardens a little more.

Her jealousy didn’t appear overnight. It crept in slowly, hidden in stiff smiles and subtle flinches. At first she admired Finn and Steffy’s bond with Hayes, wishing she could have something similar. But admiration soured the day she held Hayes and felt Finn’s protective gaze settle—not on her, but on the child. That moment cracked something inside her, revealing the painful truth she had tried to deny: Hayes has everything she believes she deserved.

And Hayes, in Luna’s eyes, has also taken everything from her.

Recently, Luna’s behavior has escalated alarmingly. She’s been caught practicing target shots on a photo of Steffy—literally using her as target practice. She’s been seen muttering about balance, justice, and punishment. She’s convinced that Steffy is the reason Finn won’t embrace her. Steffy is the barrier. Steffy is the problem. And now, she believes Steffy needs to “understand” how it feels to lose something precious.

This is where Hayes enters the picture—dangerously.

Some fans fear that Luna plans to kidnap her toddler half-brother, using him as leverage in her twisted bid to force Steffy and Finn into accepting her. Others suspect something far darker: that Luna may intend to make Hayes disappear altogether, punishing Finn in the most heartbreaking way possible. Luna has already proven she can operate without conscience when fixated on a goal, so nothing feels too extreme.

But what makes this storyline even more disturbing is that Luna doesn’t fully understand her own intentions. She oscillates wildly between wanting Hayes to love her—believing his affection will bring her closer to Finn—and wanting to hurt him to make Steffy suffer. These contradictions swirl inside her like a storm, and Hayes, tragically defenseless, becomes the eye of that storm.

The tipping point comes on a quiet afternoon. Finn steps out for an urgent call; Steffy is upstairs looking for a toy. The house is silent except for Hayes humming on the floor with his blocks. Luna kneels beside him, her hands trembling. She whispers to him—not sweetly, not playfully, but with a brittle edge: “You have everything. Everything I never got.” Hayes simply hands her a toy, unaware of the danger sitting inches away.

When Steffy returns and sees Luna pale and trembling, clutching Hayes’s toy as if holding her own broken childhood, a red flag goes up immediately. Luna mutters something about “not belonging in a place filled with so much love,” and Steffy feels the shift instantly. This isn’t insecurity. This is obsession tipping into something darker.

That night, Steffy tells Finn what she witnessed—the shaking hands, the frantic eyes, the way Luna stared at Hayes with more longing than affection. Finn brushes it off at first, hoping Luna is just overwhelmed by recent scandals. But Steffy knows better. “There was something territorial about her,” she warns. “Like she thinks he has something that should have been hers.”

Those words settle heavily between them, and by the next morning, their worst fears begin to take shape. Luna returns to the cliff house, alone, determined, and focused entirely on Hayes—proving that whatever she’s planning, the danger has only just begun.

And for the Forester and Finnegan families, the nightmare is only starting to unfold.
